The 2018 Nederburg Wine Preview tasting was held on 31 July at the new Tsogo Sun hotel in the city, the Sun Square CityBowl on the corner of Buitengracht & Strand Streets - one of the newest hotels on the Cape Town scene. Tsogo Sun must have thousands of beds in the city! They are one of the biggest spenders at the auction, so good to see them supporting the event.Thursday, 02 August 2018

The Nederburg Auction is changing its format this year, so instead of 2 days of auction - there is a one-day auction - to be held on the Saturday (16th Sept). The Friday will be only an informal pre-tasting.There are a number of older wines on auction - and I felt in good company as I tasted the Chateau Libertas 1967, which incidentally is Fiona McDonald's vintage - she turning 50 this year!There were considerable 'Oohs' and 'Aaahs' at the Noble Late Harvest table.Wednesday, 23 August 2017

The 2nd annual Cab Franc Carnival took place on Sat 21 May at Avontuur - in a rather low-key kind of way. It was abuzz with Cab Franc winos - and on tasting through most of them - I was super impressed. Not a single bad wine and I could easily have gone home with one of each! There were 17 producers on show - from the Cab Franc King Raats - to relatively newcomers Mitre's Edge, with Romond bringing their stunning Rebus from the Helderberg.Tuesday, 24 May 2016

In 1720 Michiel Romond was the first to successfully farm the propitious slopes of Helderberg’s West Peak. Guided by their life-long respect for the environment, André and Rhona Liebenberg now carefully husband those soils of their family-run wine farm. Prime terroir for Cabernet Franc, the farm also produces an elegant Pinotage and a traditional Merlot RoséThursday, 29 October 2015
